I love you mom (finished)

Rich in Family
Written by Linda Greenlaw
Rich could have lots of different means for people. Usually people see it as wealthy. However, in this paragraph the author feels love in the other way. Her mom is a great person who always has a positive view of everything. Like what she always told to author and the other 3 her children, life is good because they have the best father in the world. And the most important her mom did is giving a love unit to her family.

Simply Wonderful
Written by Daniel Rodriguez
In this article, the author’s mom is a simple person who worked in a factory with a sewing machine. And childhood life of Daniel’s is simply also. Why did I use that much simple? Because the purpose that lead author to write this entire essay is to explain the importance of simple. Since the author’s parents were immigrate to the State everything for them was new. Therefore, the life for her entire was hard. The mom didn’t face down to those problems. She managed and supported her family’s life simply.

My Opinion
After I went through these two paragraphs, they give me lots of new ideas for life. First, I know “rich” is not only based on asset; however, it could be something invisible. For example, like love, or some spiritual touch from soul. Second, I found a common with the second mom which “simple” is good.

The Lennon Companion 170 - 248

This book was written with people who know about John Lennon by author. First, it shows John and Yoko's interview that is famous. They talked his thought about war and peace. He had been appealing violence (war) is wrong with his wife. His a lot of songs have relation to his childhood. The interview had such a his background. Then he met Yoko so that he tried to love somebody and appeal peace.
Next expression of this book is his couple solo albums that are criticized by people. After the end of the Beatles, the members released their solo albums. John Lennon and Paul MacCartney have been compared as definitely two different types of great song writers. At the first time of their solo activities, John and Paul fought each other because of one reason that is related to Yoko. His first album 'imagine' showed his first expression of peace. This song, everyone knows, is still remarkable in the world. After released this album, he and she energetically campaigned against Vietnam War. Then FBI watched their activity against the war. They were criticized by people who agreed with the war. However a lot of young people followed him because he was charisma and his massage affected to the world so that American government was afraid of him. Then John and Yoko were exiled from the United States. But they stayed there. He had stopped to release albums for five years because he had been a house husband. However he released his last album ' Double Fantasy' that shows love he thinks. Sadly, he was killed by his wild fan. It is really wrong that murders become famous because they kill famous person.
At the end of this book, author says his biography and the Beatles life. His massages that appeal to us are shown by this book.

Opinion
I am done to read this book finally. and it was hard to read and summarize. However this book shows his life that is interesting for me. His life is great and wonderful. As a member of the most famous group in the world, he had been appealing peace. He though love can change the world. His interesing word is I'm not hero but you are hero which means you should do something by yourself. His massages are still alive and yesterday was the anniversary of his death. I think if each person faces and hopes seriously, this world will be better. He taught me a lot of things.

Harry Potter 8 Gabriella

Harry Potter 8 Gabriella

page137-page151
Today was a terrible day for Harry! He went into the dungeon which he had been there before. There were many people there. They all wore plum-colored robes. Cornelius Fudge who was the Minister of Magic sat in the middle of them. At first, he asked Harry some questions and created difficulties for Harry. And then the only one who can saved Harry appore in the dungeon. He was Dumbledore. Harry explained why he had to use magic before his brother's eyes. And he had explained that the dark load had come back, but Cornelius didn't believe him. He thought it was total wrong! And Dumbledore helped Harry, but there was no good reason. That maked Harry pretty angry, but he could do nothing. But Dumbledore said that the things which happened to Harry was just a little things, why it has already become the pracitice to hold a full criminal trial to deal with a simple matter of underage magic. And that made Cornelius feel very uncomfortable. Finally, Harry survived I think.

update:Gossip Girl

This is a new book. It was still talking about high school's life. I read from page1-page30.The main characters in this book are Serena--"S",Blair--"B",Nate,Chuck and Dan. The story was based on the young teenagers growing up on New York's Upper East Side who attend elite academic institutions while dealing with sex, drugs, and other teenage issues. I watched this TV show every week. It just showed us the lifestyle they had and the effect they got.



There was a girl which called Gossip Girl ran a blog about her fellow the upper east siders. She knew every single secret among them,but no one knew about her. At Blair's Party, everyone got the message from Gossip girl she said that Serena was appeared at central station. Serena is Blair's best friend who left without saying last quarter. But now she was appeared, everyone was talking about her, they try to guess what will happened next. When Blair was enjoy with her boyfriend Nate, she heard someone was calling her that Serena was coming. Blair was very angry with Serena because of her left. She represented very unfriendly that everyone can see it. So Serena felt it and left right away. Everyone was blabbing about it, why she left and why she was back. Serena and Blair was study at the same school. S try to act as B's best friend as usual, but B didn't think so. She already had some new friend instead of S. S wanted to have a conversation with B, she wanted their friendship back. There had too many secret between them, it's not like that easy to made it back. At the same time, Nate went to see S, he loved her. But S told him, he was her best friend's boyfriend, she didn't want anything happened to hurt her best friend. But we know things can't be that easy,no secret for gossip girl. B will know it sooner or later.



First I watched that Tv show, I like it. So I bought this book. There had something different between the book and show no all of them. I really want to know who is that mysterious girl. Why she can know everything about those people. How she can send the message to everyone.

Is she a student who study with them or what else. I am very intersented about her. Also I am interested in what's kind of life the upper east side people had. Was it good or bad. What's going to happened to S and B? Will they back together or they become enemy?You know you love me ,X.O.X.O Gossip girl.
